A:The metasearch technology gives you the opportunity to search within results for greater accuracy. When you enter a search, metasearch technology automatically organizes results into categories based on words and phrases contained in the results.

For example, if you searched the term "insurance", metasearch technology would sort the results into various insurance categories (Home, Auto, Fire, Health, etc.) under the “Refine Your Results” heading on the left side of the results page. You can view the results for that specific category by clicking the featured category links.

Q: How can I improve my search accuracy when looking for images, video, or news results?
